Is this bigger or smaller than the BK 16/17?

The handles are different. This is a "False" full tang. I forgot the exact term for what you call it - it is "Full tang" but not a "true" full tang. I bought this to hold on to - Go with the BK 16 or 17 if you want to beat the heck out of it since they are both true full tang knives. This one is too handsome to beat on.

Don't know. I have not seen/handled any bk knives. But it is smaller than a standard ka-bar usmc knife.

I'm sorry it took me so long, this message had been sent to my spam folder. This knife is SMALLER at 5 1/4". Hope this helps :-)

The blade is slightly longer (than the BK) but the handle is a bit crowded, for larger hands. ... The flare, at the rear, tends to make my meaty mits feel a bit "bunched". ... Just fine if your hands are thinner (more narrow). ... There ARE better options and I think that the BK16 is one of them. ... If you can afford it, nothing beats the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft Knife. ... The Mora Bushcraft Black (with or without the enhanced sheath) is a great option. ... The Condor Bushlore and the Condor Basic-5 Inch are both very adequate. ... I carry the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft and the Mora Black as a reserve knife but, to be totally honest, I use my Spyderco Endura4 FFG or my Mora 840MG Companion for any tasks which they can handle. This saves my better blades for the things that ONLY they can handle.

I don't own the BK 16 or 17 but it appears the blade on the Mark 1 is slightly longer at just over five inches. The big difference for me was the handle as the Mark 1 handle can be used as a tool/hammer with it's pommel style end cap. Over all the knives are very close in over all length.

I believe it is the #16, though the Rada website shows the same width/length in the description for the 16 and 20. Could be a typo?

I have the 16". It is a little bigger than I was used to, but the extra room is nice.

It's the smallest type ( normal I think.) I think it is like 6mm or 9mm what ever the new normal is, with a small skewer.

Bernd, the 1650 case that we own has a small handle like shown in the first & third photos. Hope this helps?

I just pulled out my BK7 and BK11 and tested it for you, and NO it doesn't really work. The BK11 is too large for the secondary sheath insert that originally held the little BK? that used to ship for free with the larger BK7 and BK9. The BK11 sheath will slip inside the BK7's pouch, but the pouch flap is then in the way and needs to be tucked somewhere or cut off. IMO this pouch is better reserved for other gear like fire starting supplies and a sharpening stone. I personally think it's better to carry the BK11 around your neck, or in your pocket------------separately from the BK7. The knives serve different purposes, and I don't like to place all my eggs in one basket anyway. Hope this helps. :) W.W.

This one is smaller. I should have ordered the 9500 as I wanted the same size as my other one, a 9000.

Interesting. The 43 is very snug - just about perfect and it has never flipped open on its own. Whereas the L17 is snug but I would prefer it to be just a tad tighter.

I don't have the larger one, but the smaller one is very easy to carry. That's why I went with the small one

I would suggest the full grind BK-16 instead if your looking for a short knife. The BK-15 is more of a camp kitchen, butchering, or meal preparing knife.

I believe color is the only difference. The BK is black and the BG is beige.

Since your product description says its smaller, I was wondering if yours smaller smaller?

Haha. As long as all bk9s are the same, you'll be fine. That's what i put the scales on. They are fantastic.

are you sure it is smaller? I believe the differ models are different components inside only(i could be wrong but you can check on the support site.

Go with the 17. Will have plenty of room, plus some for other misc items and still not feel bulky

No, it will only fit a standard K-bar. the BK7's blade is to thick and to wide.
